Geilleagar ciorclach

This page is also available in:

Tá an t-aistriú chuig geilleagar ciorclach chun tosaigh ar chlár oibre CESE mar réiteach chun an ghéarchéim aeráide a chomhrac agus chun ár bpláinéad a chosaint. Is deis iontach í don tsochaí shibhialta mar go gcuideoidh sé leis an méid seo a leanas a dhéanamh:

  • iomaíochas thionscal na hEorpa a mhéadú;
  • an fás eacnamaíoch inbhuanaithe a chur chun cinn;
  • poist nua a chruthú.

Ní hamháin go bhfuil acmhainní á gcur amú le samhail an táirgthe agus an tomhaltais línigh (‘é a thógáil, é a dhéanamh agus é a chaitheamh uainn’) atá fós chun tosaigh sa gheilleagar sa lá atá inniu ann, ach baintear an bonn den chomhrac i gcoinne an athraithe aeráide mar gheall uirthi freisin. Murab ionann agus an geilleagar líneach, tá an geilleagar ciorclach bunaithe ar chur chuige athghiniúnach agus aisiríoch lena ndírítear ar luach eacnamaíoch a chruthú agus a choinneáil, agus ar dhúshláin chomhshaoil dhomhanda a chomhrac amhail an t-athrú aeráide, cailliúint na bithéagsúlachta agus truailliú, agus tairbhí eacnamaíocha á mbaint amach san am céanna.

Is é an dea-scéala ná go bhfuil an t-aistriú ciorclach ag tarlú cheana féin ar an leibhéal áitiúil. Tá roinnt mhaith tionscnaimh chiorclacha á gcruthú agus á gcur chun feidhme ag geallsealbhóirí ón tsochaí shibhialta, lena n-áirítear gnólachtaí, ceardchumainn, lucht acadúil agus pobail eolais, eagraíochtaí don óige chomh maith le heagraíochtaí neamhrialtasacha agus grúpaí leasmhara eile ar an leibhéal áitiúil agus réigiúnach. Trí réitigh chiorclacha agus ceannaireacht na ngeallsealbhóirí leasmhara a spreagadh is fearr is féidir leis an Eoraip an t-aistriú chuig geilleagar ciorclach a chur chun cinn.

Dá réir sin, is ardán é Ardán Eorpach Gheallsealbhóirí an Gheilleagair Chiorclaigh, ar tionscnamh comhpháirteach é ó CESE agus ón gCoimisiún Eorpach, a bunaíodh in 2017 chun pobal an gheilleagair chiorclaigh san Eoraip a thabhairt le chéile. Tacaíonn an t-ardán atá dírithe ar gheallsealbhóirí le haistriú na hEorpa i dtreo geilleagar ciorclach trí idirphlé a chothú, eolas a roinnt agus dea-chleachtais a mhalartú.

    In this opinion, the EESC calls for society to begin an economic transition from over-exploitation of resources and a throw-away culture to a more sustainable, job-rich era, based on quality rather than quantity. In order to cope with the fundamental shift to a new economic model with major systemic consequences in many areas, it is recommended that a new cross-cutting and permanent body be set up in the EESC to analyse these developments.

    The EESC fully backs the objective of switching to a greener, resource-efficient and circular economy. It is happy to see that the Commission has come forward with a broader set of proposals covering all the stages of the product lifecycle compared to the previous circular economy package; however, it raises concern over the lower level of ambition, which is likely to lead to lower economic and environmental benefits.

    The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) believes that the prospect of a European circular economy should bring a major boost to the systemic competitiveness of the EU, a driver for growth and a generator of new green jobs and skills.

    Planned obsolescence is associated with a form of industrial production that relies on a minimum renewal rate for its products. Although product renewal is necessary, certain abuses need to be addressed. The EESC would like to see a total ban on products with built-in defects designed to end the product's life.

  • EESC: Circular Economy Act must make Europe more resilient, competitive and independent

    Reference number
    30/2026

    During a plenary debate at the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), the European Commission Executive Vice-President Teresa Ribera stressed the strategic importance of the Circular Economy Act for Europe’s future. This point was underlined by the EESC members who called for circularity to be put at the heart of Europe’s competitiveness and resilience agenda. It should be seen not only as an environmental objective but also an economic and geopolitical strategy.
